 at least one inorganic insulating film arranged between the one of the plurality of TFTs and the first metal layer; 
 a second metal layer arranged on a second side of the flexible substrate opposite from the first side with respect to the first metal layer; 
 an organic insulating film arranged between the first metal layer and the second metal layer, and 
 a first terminal on the first side of the flexible substrate, the first terminal has a conductive layer the same as a source metal layer of the one of the plurality of TFTs or a drain metal layer of the one of the plurality of TFTs, wherein 
 the second metal layer is electrically connected to the first terminal via a conductive member, 
 the second metal layer has one electrode which overlaps with whole of the plurality of TFTs uniformly, 
 the second metal layer does not overlap with the first terminal, and 
 the first metal layer is arranged between a gate electrode of the one of the plurality of TFTs and the flexible substrate. 
 
     
     
       2. The semiconductor device according to  claim 1 , wherein
